C32 westward journey of Ling'er

Yang Ming never thought that he would be able to witness such a tragic war here. The temporary peace that was exchanged with his blood and tears was truly too great of a price.

The people who defend their territory with their lives are worthy of respect, and the price that must have been paid by the invaders must have been enormous, but the devastation caused by the war was something people did not want to see.

Yang Ming's heart was a little heavy, and he stopped thinking about these unhappy things. He did not bid farewell to anyone from the Giles, and took the chance when everyone else was not paying attention to him, and left on his own.

Along the way, Yang Ming's mood was extremely bad. As one person walked on this wide and empty road, there was no one around him. Beside him was a deep and bottomless valley.

Yang Ming could not help but shout out a few times towards the valley, and the depressed feeling in his heart was slightly lessened.

In front of him were a few small inns. Yang Ming went to find a place to stay, and in that small inns, Yang Ming got drunk all by himself and slept for a day in the inns.

After waking up, Yang Ming still couldn't feel the heaviness in his heart, and sighed a few more times. There were too many things in this world that made it difficult for him to feel at ease, and all of these things seemed to be fated.

Sometimes, it was just because his heart was weak at the moment that he developed some bad habits. And he didn't dare to challenge, face, or linger around for a while, which led the situation towards a worse direction.

Why didn't he stop the war? Yang Ming also didn't understand him. He could have captured Tuo Leisi and allowed the two sides to resolve this grudge, but he could only watch helplessly as this tragic event happened.

Yang Ming also didn't know why he didn't do that at the time. A war like this would happen even if he wasn't there, this kind of thing was unavoidable for these nomads.

However, did he really have the ability to prevent all of this from happening? Was he simply respecting their history and using his own life to prove the blood of his people?

Yang Ming looked down on himself in his heart, and felt that he really wasn't that powerful in his heart.

This kind of remorse had always been in his heart, so Yang Ming couldn't help but order a lot of wine, and after getting drunk again, he stayed in that small shop.

Yang Ming was no longer in the mood to move forward, and stayed in the little shop all day. He would occasionally walk around by himself, and from time to time, he would stare blankly at the scenery.

He had always thought that he would be able to do something for the people of this world, and he had never given up on everything that happened around him. But this time, he suddenly stopped.

Tears appeared at the corner of Yang Ming's eyes. Those tears were for himself, and also for those heroes that had lost their lives in battle.

Unknowingly, Yang Ming had already been delayed here for a few days.

As for Zhao Ling’er, ever since Yang Ming had left, he had been in a trance every day, and would often do things absent-mindedly. This caused Zhao Zhouwu and his wife to feel pain in their hearts as they looked at him.

Every day, Zhao Ling’er would sit alone while she was in a daze, her soul and heart already flying with Yang Ming's departure.

She would still read Yang Ming's name every day, and hoped that he would appear before her.

Day after day, the girl became thinner and thinner, and she was in no mood to dress up. Every day, she would just randomly wash and comb her hair, and she would often forget to change clothes for a few days.

Zhao Zhouwu naturally knew what his daughter was thinking about, but he was temporarily unable to help his daughter.

Suddenly, one day, Zhao Ling’er turned to Zhao Zhouwu and his wife and said, "Father, Mother, your daughter wants to go out for a walk by herself, okay?"

Seeing her daughter's expression, Zhao Zhouwu knew that if she stayed at home like this, she would definitely develop some kind of illness. It would be better to listen to her, and send someone to accompany her for a walk.

Zhao Zhouwu selected two guards who were well-versed in the affairs of the martial arts world, and accompanied Zhao Ling’er out to relax, reminding the two people, they must take care of the young miss, if there was anything, they must immediately fly to report.

Zhao Ling’er chose a date and bid farewell to his parents. Accompanied by the two people, he walked westwards and went out to see the outside world.

Zhao Ling’er had grown up by his parents' side and practically no one had ever travelled far before. This time, to be able to obtain the permission of his parents and travel outside was originally something to be happy about.

But on the road, Zhao Ling’er was not in the mood to look at the scenery, he would still be in a daze alone every day.

Yang Ming was daydreaming at the hotel when Zhao Ling’er and his follower walked in. Yang Ming did not notice that Zhao Ling’er also had an infatuated gaze, the two of them were not more than a few meters apart but they did not see each other.

Although the two of them had seen each other from afar in rattan garden, they had never connected the hero of that day with the drunk man in front of them.

Yang Ming had not tidied up in a few days, and the beard on his face was already completely covered, making him look a lot older.

Yang Ming drank the wine in front of him in big gulps, and only after his entire body became a little floating and his body lost its center of gravity, did he stand up crookedly.

Yang Ming staggered out of the inn, tripped on the ground and fell heavily onto the ground.

Zhao Ling’er heard the sound of people falling and turned to look. He felt that the person's background was familiar, but did not know who he was.

The waiter said to the crowd, "This guy has been here for a few days. He's been drunk every day, and when he's drunk he goes back to his room. When he wakes up, he'll come out again to drink."

Zhao Ling’er thought that this person must have encountered something in his heart to give up so easily.

Zhao Ling and the waiter also came up to bring a jar of wine and started drinking with the two servants. Usually, Zhao Ling’er did not drink alcohol, but the moment he drank, he would choke on his wine.

The two advised Zhao Ling’er to drink less, but in her heart, Zhao Ling’er was gloomy, regardless of their opposition, she drank a few more cups, and the wine was in her stomach, like bitter water over a river, her heart was twisted.

Zhao Ling’er felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out. The feeling was extremely unbearable, and he could not help but vomit.

The two of them anxiously supported Zhao Ling’er, letting the waiter arrange for her to rest.

When he woke up, Zhao Ling’er felt much better. This wine was actually a good thing that could make people forget about its unhappiness, but could also release their spirit.

After Zhao Ling’er washed up, he walked out of the bedroom and looked at the scenery outside. It was already deep into the night, and the weather was not bad.

Zhao Ling’er could not help but push open the door and walk out. Not far away, she saw a man sitting alone under the stars, his back was extremely familiar.

Zhao Ling’er could not help but walk forward, and upon closer inspection, this person who had a beard, dirty clothes and messy hair looked extremely similar to Yang Ming.

Zhao Ling’er could not believe that the person in front of him was Yang Ming, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling’er, and their gazes met. Zhao Ling’er could not help but cry out, "Big brother Yang, why is it you? "How can you be like this?"

Yang Ming also did not expect to meet Zhao Ling’er here, "So it's Miss Ling'er, why did you run out here alone?

Ling'er looked at the person in front of her whom she missed day and night, and for a while, she was speechless. She could only silently look at Yang Ming, and her heart surged with countless sighs.

"Big brother Yang, ever since you left, I have been thinking about you everyday, so I got father to agree to let me travel for a few days, which could be considered a period of relaxation. I never thought that I would meet you again, what happened to you like this?"

Yang Ming took a light breath, "This is a long story, I'll tell you all of it another day, just wait for me for a bit, okay?"

Zhao Ling’er nodded.

Yang Ming then returned to his room, and after a while, he walked out again. So it turned out that Yang Ming had gone back to tidy up, and Yang Ming, who had once again appeared in front of Zhao Ling’er, had recovered his usual unrestrained aura!

Zhao Ling’er laughed: "This is the Big Brother Yang that I know, no matter what happens, Big Brother Yang will definitely hold on. Big Brother Yang is a kind-hearted person, his heart can tolerate anything, as long as you understand, nothing in this world will be difficult for you!"

Seeing Zhao Ling’er's flawless appearance, Yang Ming's heart immediately felt much better, and the depression he had felt these past few days was also much better.

"Ling'er, Big Brother Yang encountered some unhappy things a few days ago. I personally witnessed a massacre, and on that day, blood flowed like a river, and corpses covered the fields. I did not stop it, and only watched as all of this happened!"

"Big brother Yang, what you're talking about, I may not understand, I may not understand, but in my heart, Big brother Yang must be thinking that you should stop this from happening, big brother Yang is kind, and is wholeheartedly working hard for the peace in the martial arts world!", that Zhao Ling’er was extremely obedient, her voice was also very sweet and sweet!

Yang Ming also felt this gentleness. This Zhao Ling’er was really too lovable, even Yang Ming couldn't help but feel tender towards her. In Yang Ming's heart, he had always treated Zhao Ling’er as a little sister.

He felt that it was difficult for such a girl to communicate with him on the soul level, and the only person in this world that could interact with him on the soul level was Song Qing.

Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh. That Ling'er looked at Yang Ming with her big eyes in a daze. That big brother Yang must have thought of his beloved big sister again!

"Big brother Yang, I really want to see the big sister in your heart. She must be the most beautiful woman in the world!" When Ling'er said this, she didn't have the slightest intention of putting on an act.

"Alright, Ling'er, big brother Yang is not good. Originally, our meeting was a happy occasion, how about I bring you out to play?" Yang Ming could not bear to see Zhao Ling’er accompanying him.

"Alright, where is big brother Yang bringing me to?" Zhao Ling’er laughed.

Yang Ming thought for a moment, "The scenery here is very different from the one in rattan garden, although it is not as pleasant, it still has its own special characteristics. This grassland is very wide, how about I bring you to ride a horse first?"

Ling'er nodded. Actually, being able to be with her beloved Big Brother Yang made her happy.

Yang Ming called for a strong horse. The horse was grey, its body was smooth and its hair was washed clean.

Yang Ming said to Zhao Ling’er: "Come, mount!" After saying that, he gently held onto Zhao Ling’er's waist and leaped up.

Zhao Ling’er sat in front of Yang Ming, and could feel the warmth of his body, as well as the unique scent on Yang Ming's body.

Zhao Ling’er's face was a little flushed, and she was extremely happy. This was the first time she was so close to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming raised the reins in his hand and the horse galloped out.

Along the way, the horse's running speed was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and sometimes very fast. When it was fast, the wind blew both of their hair up, causing Zhao Ling’er's cheeks from time to time, and the fragrance seeped into Yang Ming's nose.

Enjoying such a beauty for a leisurely stroll on the prairie, this caused the people on the road to be extremely envious.

Yang Ming was not a frivolous person. He had already secretly regarded Zhao Ling’er as a close relative and had already decided a long time ago that he would use all of his strength to protect this delicate and beautiful lady.

An oasis appeared in front of them, and the water there was crystal clear. "Ling'er, let's go down and rest, alright?"

During the ride on the horse, Zhao Ling’er was a little tired.

The two of them dismounted, and Yang Ming tied the horses up. Holding Zhao Ling’er's hand, they ran towards the oasis.

The two of them bent down and poured some water on their faces. It was a very comfortable feeling.

Yang Ming gently pushed the water away, used both hands to scoop up the water, and put it into his mouth. A sweet taste spread across his entire body, and Yang Ming couldn't help but exclaim: "This water is really delicious, it's just like fine wine!"

Zhao Ling’er continued to laugh and imitate Yang Ming as he grabbed the water and drank a few mouthfuls.

Zhao Ling’er sat sideways on the ground with a lazy look, extremely relaxed. Zhao Ling’er also sat down next to Yang Ming, "Big Brother Yang, no matter who you have in your heart, I only know that there's only you in my heart!"

With that, Zhao Ling’er rested his head on Yang Ming's shoulder.

Yang Ming couldn't bear to reject her, so he gently caressed her hair.

In fact, Yang Ming had unknowingly started to slowly accept Zhao Ling’er. In Yang Ming's heart, he had always thought that it was only because he liked Song Qing that he kept his distance from other girls, but this Zhao Ling’er did not care about the difference between males and females, and took the initiative to approach Yang Ming multiple times, proclaiming his love to Yang Ming without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Yang Ming was naturally a devoted person. Even if Zhao Ling’er leaned on him now, his heart was still pure, without a single trace of thinking about Zhao Ling’er being unclean.

Zhao Ling’er suddenly stood up, and looked at Yang Ming affectionately: "Big brother Yang, I must be really unhappy during this period, I want to from today onwards, always be by your side, when you're unhappy, I will coax you to be happy, okay?"

Yang Ming was moved in his heart, "I won't hide it from you, Ling'er, even now, I am only a sibling relationship to you, I really don't have the same feelings as a man and a woman, I'm sorry!"

Zhao Ling’er laughed: "I already knew that Big Brother Yang was a person who is devoted to love, I never thought that Big Brother Yang would accept me now, even if you have always treated me as your younger sister, I am also willing to accompany you by your side, I will give you time, until you are willing to truly accept me, okay?"

couldn't help but gently pull Zhao Ling’er to his side, and have her nestle by his side, "Ling'er, you're so cute and silly. Big brother Yang promises you that he will never lie to your feelings, and I will always protect you!"

Zhao Ling’er closed his eyes and no longer spoke, only pressing his body tightly against Yang Ming's body.

The two of them snuggled up to each other, quietly staying by the beautiful oasis. The two of them had their own thoughts, but their hearts were slowly calming down.

This feeling made the two of them feel very good. The depressed feelings they had accumulated a few days ago were also swept away.

Zhao Ling’er gently moved his head away from Yang Ming's shoulder. Looking at Yang Ming, the two of them stood extremely close to each other, "Big brother Yang, being together with you makes my heart feel at ease and makes me happy. Don't leave me, okay?"

Yang Ming nodded lightly, and hugged Zhao Ling’er once more.

Yang Ming truly wanted to be good to Zhao Ling’er. He just felt that if he still kept Song Qing in his heart, then it would be extremely unfair for Zhao Ling’er.

Zhao Ling’er laughed, "Big brother Yang, let go of me, okay?"

Yang Ming did not know what Zhao Ling’er wanted to do, but he gently let go of his hands. Zhao Ling’er ran to the side of the water and splashed the water over to Yang Ming.

Zhao Ling’er did not have much strength to begin with, she only had a bit of water that splashed onto Yang Ming's body.

Looking at Zhao Ling’er's graceful posture, the smile on his face was extremely beautiful and captivating!

Yang Ming also ran over, and gently sprinkled the water on Zhao Ling’er, and the two of them started playing by the side of the water.

The oasis was about ten meters wide and was surrounded by grass. Usually, there were only a few people here, so it was relatively clean. Furthermore, the oasis was very wide, and one could see very far ahead.

From time to time, the wind would blow by, giving off a feeling that the wind was filled with the flavor of happiness.

"After the two of them got tired of playing, they laid back down on the grass and looked at the sky." "Big brother Yang, why do you think the sky is so blue?" Zhao Ling’er asked softly.

Yang Ming chuckled, "Because the sky seeing how cute and beautiful you are, naturally becomes pure, and becomes this faint blue!"

Zhao Ling’er slapped Yang Ming, "When did Big Brother Yang become so mischievous and make fun of Ling'er!"

"Big brother Yang, I want to let those two followers go back to the rattan garden and tell father that I am already with you. With you by my side, father will definitely be at ease, I wonder what big brother Yang's opinion is?"

Yang Ming thought for a moment, "Ling'er, I still have to go far away to the northern border. The weather there is extremely cold, and I might encounter some dangerous things along the way, so I don't want you to take these risks with me."

Zhao Ling’er said: "Big brother Yang's martial arts are not inferior to anyone in this world. He will definitely be able to protect Ling'er, I do not wish to leave you, if I do not see you, I do not know how I would live." After Zhao Ling’er said this, his expression became sad and he looked pitiful.

Yang Ming caressed her hair gently, "Silly child, there are too many people who have higher levels of martial arts than me in this world, it's just that you don't know about them. Those martial arts experts are often hidden in the world, when it comes to true martial arts, my seniors are much stronger than me."

"I thought you promised. From now on, I will always be by your side, until you make up your mind, I don't mind staying with that big sister, I will definitely get along with her and not let big brother Yang feel any uneasiness." This Ling'er's heart was simply too naive, and did not know that the love in Yang Ming's heart, was Song Qing.

A man has a few wives, so it doesn't count as much. This Zhao Ling’er was extremely angered, and was unwilling to share the love in her heart with others, but she treated Yang Ming with too much affection and considered him as her beloved, so she decided not to bother about him anymore. She only wanted him to be happy and stay by his side with her as much as she could, which was the happiest and most important thing to her.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Yang Ming didn't know how to reply.

Zhao Ling’er said: "Big brother Yang, why do you always look like you have a heavy heart whenever that big sister is mentioned, is there anything you can't say to Ling'er? Ling'er is willing to listen to any of your thoughts. "

Zhao Ling’er pressed his face against Yang Ming's chest, and wrapped his arms around Yang Ming's waist.

Yang Ming was truly unable to resist Zhao Ling’er's gentleness and gentleness, and in reality, he did not want to cause the slightest amount of harm to Zhao Ling’er.

"Silly child, if there's anything that Big Brother Yang needs, he will definitely tell you. Don't let your thoughts run wild, okay?" Yang Ming said softly.

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't want to say anything, Zhao Ling’er didn't ask any further and only felt a little heartache for Yang Ming. There were so many things hidden in one's heart, and one had so many responsibilities to bear.

Yang Ming supported Zhao Ling’er and slowly got up, the two of them looked up, and saw that the horse had disappeared without them knowing, it must have been because Yang Ming had thought about Song Qing, and was distracted, not noticing what was happening around them.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed bitterly, "Big brother Yang, what do we do?" Although Zhao Ling’er asked this, she was not really worried, she believed that Yang Ming definitely had a way.

Yang Ming laughed: "The dumbest way is for me to carry you and go back!"

Zhao Ling’er couldn't help but blush, but she knew that Yang Ming was not joking. If she really had to walk, it was unknown just when she would be able to walk out of this vast grassland and find a place with other families.

Yang Ming said softly, "Ling'er, let big brother Yang carry you back!"

Zhao Ling’er gently nodded his head, and then supported Yang Ming's body, burying his head tightly on Yang Ming's back.

Yang Ming took a deep breath, and started to quickly gallop across the plains. Zhao Ling’er had never seen Yang Ming's consummate lightness skills, but now, as he supported Yang Ming's back, and heard the wind howl beside them, he sighed in his heart, This Big Brother Yang is truly a god, his speed is not much slower than that of a horse.

Zhao Ling’er did not hesitate to give up his family's happiness and glory for the sake of true love. Now that he had coincidentally met Yang Ming, he believed even more in his heart that the fate between the two of them was already decided. Even if she had to work with other women, she would be willing.

In this world, if a woman made her look down upon someone, then even if you spent all your effort on her, it would be hard to get a beautiful smile from her. If you could pull her heart away, she would do anything for you, and would not even hesitate to let go of her original pride.

Zhao Ling’er thought back to a few days ago, when he was still thinking about Yang Ming and not thinking about food and tea. He did not expect that he could be together with her today, and the two had grown closer by quite a bit.
